President Obama Interrupted By Conservative Reporter during immigration speech in the Rose Garden

President Obama was in the middle of delivering remarks on immigration in the Rose Garden this afternoon when he was interrupted and heckled repeatedly by a reporter.

The man, later identified as Neil Munro of The Daily Caller, asked the president several times "why do you favor foreigners over American workers?" "It's not time for questions, sir," the president responded angrily. "Not while I'm speaking." While reporters were present at the Rose Garden announcement, the president was not expected to take questions.

At the end of his remarks, the president attempted to address Munro's concerns. "The answer to your question, sir — and the next time I prefer you let me finish my statements before you ask that question — is this is the right thing to do for the American people," he said.

The Daily Caller later lauded Munro's behavior. "We are very proud of, @NeilMunroDC for doing his job," the online publication posted to its Twitter feed.

The president was announcing plans to stop deporting young illegal immigrants who came to the U.S. as children but have since been enrolled in, or graduated from high school and have abided by U.S. law.

When Munro interrupted again, the president snapped back "I didn't ask for an argument, I'm answering your question."Asked afterwards who he was, Munro said simply "I'm just a reporter asking questions you should be asking.

Avoid the stress and pressure continue with life and not abrupt with hate to people that will never change or you think might change but instead let others or their own correct them better the Law.

That's soo Funny! US President Barack Obama takes everything seriously just like the community he comes from and because of his origins seeing the video makes you believe how their behave. Obama is half Muslim because of his African father is a Muslim and Mother is a White Christian Jew. Anyone who is half Muslim whether mixed or descended by ancestors like Jews are impatient. Taking every issue seriously even taking a life to resolve the matter. Take it easy Obama!

That's the problem when you come to power as an elected leader harassed by reporters, journalists, critics etc. even they aren't any answer. Sometime the secret been talked about and revealed in society on Camera can be dubbed by the Media or the uploader like FBI, CIA etc. To prevent secrets of society to keep the world going around and money to giving chance only those selected for a peaceful life rest suffer.

Haha! Obama was a piece of shit since he was in office in Illinois

Okay, it's not that difficult to gain citizenship. Fair is fair. Why is it that that kid gets free education - there's no way his parents would be paying taxes -, while my parents bust their ass, and pay for him through their taxes. That is NOT equality!

11 months ago... why am I barely just knowing of this?

Yes, there is something wrong with "keeping them here".

What's wrong, you ask?

The law is that if you are here illegally, you get deported.

Period.

In addition, the gov't and current legislation isn't defending immigrants. If they aren't here legally and they aren't contributing then there's nothing wrong with sending them home.

HOWEVER, when the difference is that the immigrant doesn't break laws, when they get diplomas or work honestly, there's nothing wrong with keeping them here.

less guns + unintelligent ppl that are short sighted = more violence

It's not equality when an immigrant's child is deported when they have already graduated high school, or any institute, and abide by the laws set in place. AND placing the blame on immigrants, and government officials and other citizens for your/our misfortune is prejudice, judgmental and unfair. If you haven't done everything in your power to change a PERSONAL situation, and blame others for PERSONAL problems, then your stupid

I don't know why Americans are sacrificing freedom all over again. Did any of you ever read about the revolution? It is true that we turned one tyrant 5,000 miles away for 5,000 tyrants 1 mile away. And now we have many Americans marching to a socialist society, that history says cannot work. More government = more problems. Most likely it is because people live only 80 or 90 years. The experience dies and everyone has to repeat all the mistakes again. Wake up Americans!
